I used Qatar Airways from KUL to DXB last week, very nice service, very consistent in all aspects . Only some functions in Oryx didn't work well i.e. Inflight menu .

Food is good in all 4 sectors - coming from Southeast Asia with our super-spicy food in-flight meal in QR ( and other Middle Eastern Airlines ) could be pretty bland but what is good for us can be bad for people from other regions.. food on QR is acceptably good.

But I am quite shocked on how Doha Airport could survive without a proper terminal , but for sure things will change once new terminal is completed this year

Qatar Airways to Serve Atlanta, Chicago as 787 Deliveries Begin

Qatar Airways Ltd. plans to start flights to Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and Detroit within the next year, doubling its U.S. network, as the carrier begins receiving Boeing Co. (BA) 787 Dreamliners.
A daily New York service will also be increased to three flights a day, with the addition of links via cities in Eastern and Western Europe, Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said yesterday in Montreal. The airline has daily flights to Washington and Houston.

“Qatar Airways is in the midst of a very aggressive expansion plan,” Al Baker said. “The only thing that stopped us from going earlier is the delayed delivery of the 787s,” he said about the U.S. flights.

The carrier has placed orders for 60 Dreamliners as it works toward boosting its global network to 170 destinations from 113 over three years. Like Dubai-based Emirates Airline and Etihad Airways PJSC, the carrier is using a Middle East hub to link markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Qatar Air also plans to resume services to Rangoon, Myanmar in October, Al Baker said. The carrier’s order backlog also includes 60 A350s and 10 A380s made by Airbus SAS.

Boeing began delivering 787s last year ending more than three years of delays caused by struggles with new materials and production techniques.

First its intra-Gulf, then its London Heathrow.

[lady gaga]

Why gulf I don't even know why QR operate B777s on Dubai and Kuwait and Abu Dhabi routes while they use A320/A321 on Khrtoum route for example it's annoying

[QatPhils]

Well it has to be based on demand and flight connections.

[lady gaga]

It's still annoying QR have 14 weekly flights to Khartoum so it's a big demand and they're operated by A320/A321 MIX
